DESCRIPTION

Rates

This section controls the data rates permitted for clients.

Configuration

For each Rate, select an option from the Configuration list. The options are:

 

 

Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the access point at

 

this speed.

 

Optional: Clients can connect to the access point at this speed, when

 

permitted to do so by the AP.

 

Disable: Clients cannot connect to the access point at this speed.

 

 

MCS Table

The MCS Rate table is available only when 802.11 b/g/n is selected in the

 

802.11 Wireless Mode field.

 

IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called MCS rates. MCS

 

stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This is an 802.11n feature that

 

increases the wireless network performance in terms of throughput.

 

For each MCS Rate (0-15), select either Enable (default) to have the NWA use the

 

data rate. Select Disable if you do not want the NWA to use the data rate.

6.4.2 Bridge / Repeater Mode

Use this screen to have the NWA act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge mode.
